Benzalkonium chloride suppresses rabbit corneal endothelium intercellular gap junction communication.

Benzalkonium chloride suppresses rabbit corneal endothelium intercellular gap junction communication.

Gap junction intercellular communication (GJIC) plays a critical role in the maintenance of corneal endothelium homeostasis. We determined if benzalkonium chloride (BAK) alters GJIC activity in the rabbit corneal endothelium since it is commonly used as a drug preservative in ocular eyedrop preparat...
